Rana Daggubati's Knowledge About South States In Question As Kiara Advani's Old Video Goes Viral

Kiara Advani has been enjoying the success of her professional life. The actress is shooting for War 2 with Hrithik Roshan and has also signed a few big projects, including Don 3 and Toxic. She is also rumoured to be part of Dhoom 4, starring Ranbir Kapoor . Amid this, an old video from 2019 has resurfaced on the internet where the actress fumbled while naming South Indian states and languages. Since then, Kiara has been trolled for not knowing southern states and languages. But more than her, Rana Daggubati is being trolled for saying there are only 4 states in Southern India. For the unversed, there are five South Indian states.

Rana Daggubati doesn't know South Indian states?

In the old video from 2019, Kiara attended a chat show with Ram Charan to promote their then-movie Vinaya Vidheya Rama. During the show, host Rana Daggubati asked Kiara if she knew the states and languages of the South. “So, you know there are 4 states and 4 languages in the South?” When Ram urged the actress to name them, she confidently said, "Telangana and Karnataka." But then fumbled while naming Andhra Pradesh. Not just this, Rana had to give her a hint to guess Tamil Nadu.

The GK session didn't end there, Rana asked her to which state the language Malayalam is from. Kiara was dumbstruck, and Ram had to intervene to remind her that it was from Kerala .

Why is Kiara Advani being trolled?

Soon after the video resurfaced, netizens started trolling the actress for not knowing the South Indian states. A section of the internet also compared the actress Alia Bhatt (who didn't know who the Indian Prime Minister was back then). A user called, "Gosh SoBo kids be paying so much fees in their posh schools to end up like this lol. Any kid from a tier 2 city CBSE school can name all the states and it’s capitals." Another wrote, "I genuinely don't know what these kids do during their time studying in some of the best schools in India. Funny thing is, one of the biggest films of her career is a sequel for the remake of a malayalam movie lmao." The third user wrote, “Well her real name is Alia so makes sense.”

Kiara's video surfaced months before the release of Game Changer, starring Ram Charan.

Why Rana Daggubati is being trolled?

This might have put Kiara under the fire, but a section of the internet pointed out that Rana is also at fault as he himself said 4 South states. A user wrote, “He himself said 4 states, but there are 5 Southern states, so more or less what she said was almost correct.” However, a user defended the actor and said that earlier it was 4 only. “Arre he said 4 states because of a reflex since that was all he had learned since a child for 40 years. Andhra/ Telangana have split just a few years ago. It was a slip-up like how when the year changes to 2025, many people will still say 2024 for a good few months. She didn't know where Malayalam comes from, that is an entirely different level of obtuse.” 

What do we know about Game Changer?

It is a Telugu-language political drama helmed by S Shankar. The movie also stars Anjali, Samuthirakani, S. J. Suryah, Srikanth, and Sunil in supporting roles. It will hit the theatres on January 10, coinciding with Sankranti.
